I'm in shock this location closed! I love these ladies. I'm obsessed with MAC and now I will have to drive to Concord to get my MAC fix! I'm sad!!! read more

In short, I was treated like an inconvenience instead of a customer looking to spend money. I didn't enjoy my experience here due to a clear lack of professionalism from one of the staff members this past weekend. I stopped into MAC because I have a few events coming up and was specifically looking for blush recommendations. When I asked for suggestions, the staff member pointed out a few options but ultimately told me I could "just swatch as much as I want until I find a color I like." They seemed more preoccupied with cleaning up the store than actually helping me, and the interaction felt rushed and dismissive. To make matters worse, as soon as I left the store, they left shortly after--I can only assume they didn't want to assist me because I was getting in the way of them clocking out. If that was the case, they could have at least passed me on to another associate instead of making me feel like an afterthought. Based on this experience, I'm not surprised the store is often empty. read more

I like this location! When I come here, it has always been positive. Love when Ferry is working, as she is always approachable, kind, and helpful read more

Warm customer service would be nice. Like what another reviewer said, I felt like an inconvenience to the person who was just sitting behind the register when I arrived. I don't get it. You'd think they'd be happy to "serve" a customer to make a sale. I almost walked out to take my business to Ulta, a few doors down. The "welcome" from the staff has been off more than a few times. I don't think I'll be a returning customer. read more

I love this location. Everyone is so sweet, professional and helpful. They always have the products I need and it is never to busy, I can usually walk-in get my stuff and leave pretty fast. I will be back. ;) read more

MAC Cosmetics - Chef LiCi - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Brentwood, California

Love this store! I've been using MAC makeup for years and usually buy online. Since moving to Brentwood last year I've been going to this store to buy my makeup in person instead. The staff always greet me when I walk in and say to let them know if I have questions and let me browse at my own pace. They're always super helpful when I need assistance grabbing my makeup shade. Usually I come in with one or both of my kids, who inevitably get restless and seem to want to run around, and the staff always make sure to help me check out fast so I can reign in my kids The staff are also very personable and friendly. Always a great, quick shopping experience and since it's so close to my house it's nice to come in and buy and not have to pay shipping! read more

The people were nice, it was just super awkward cuz no one was really in there and the workers were just staring at us

I'm actually surprised with some of the negative comments. I've been coming to Mac Brentwood for the last 2 years and the girls (Brianna, Tiffany, Leah) that's done my makeup has always been GREAT! They are amazing makeup artists and are very knowledgeable with all the Mac products. Every time I've gotten my makeup done and a customer comes in they ALWAYS stop to acknowledge the customer. They greet them with a smile and tell them they'll be right with them. That's good customer service! To the Mac girls that's done my makeup, Thank you, it's always been on point! You girls have always been nice and I appreciate that! read more

Made an appointment to get my makeup done by Tiffany, my appointment was set for 4pm. Three weeks later I show up for my appointment 15 minutes early and checked in with one of the girls, she said Tiffany was on break. 4 pm came around and no one acknowledged my presence, waited 10 more minutes and no sign of Tiffany or anyone else trying to help. This store needs more employees, and the ones that are their need customer service training. Super disappointed. Will not be supporting this store anymore. Oh yeah one more thing- I overheard one of the employees telling the customer they are no longer taking recycled, empty cases for credit. read more

first and for most the review is 3 weeks late due to a very busy work schedule. I walked in to get lashes done for a family photo session and ended up getting my whole face done. Lea helped me. Lea was super sweet, helpful, and took time to get to know what colors I liked, what colors everyone would be wearing to match our outfits, but also to bring out my eye color. I ended up coming out looking and feeling gorgeous! Lea also helped me pick up some make up to buy abs gave me some samples. if you're looking for someone to do an Amazing make up for please Ask for LEA she is AMAZING!! I will be coming back soon!! thank you again Lea. read more

OMG !!! Every time I go into this Mac Store the woman in here are so Rude Not Helpful. I hope the management team would see this and Fire all these woman and get some woman in here with hospitality and kindness. They literally told me to go to ULTA and I DID. After I told them all they were rude and not nice at all. Unfortunately I have to give them 1 star. They deserve to have NO stars. So woman and the Mac store get a heart or all you just Jealous B..... read more

My daughter had an appointment with Lea to have her makeup done for senior ball. Lea did an awesome job!!! She asked my daughter what she wanted and recommended a few things. She explained what she was using while doing her makeup. She was so knowledgeable and professional. My daughters makeup looked so beautiful!!! Just what she wanted. It wasn't too much. Still natural and beautiful!!! I would definitely recommend Lea to anybody looking to have their makeup done. Oh another thing.... after doing my daughters makeup I asked her for recommendations for myself. She was so helpful and even ended up doing a quick makeover on me too!! read more

Since changes made, I've not been a fan. I'll be shopping online instead of the store moving forward. The employee was rude and had ZERO manners. MAC cosmetics, I've been a loyal customer for 23 years, but you're starting to slip through your hires and product changes. Since changing the eye liner product change, I've been less interested; especially since the employee was rude about me having a bad day and making me feel bad about my overall mood and how I felt about the product change. read more

I visited this store twice lately with a young adult friend who is developmentally disabled, and I want to complement the staff, particularly Mia, for being a STAR makeup artist, staff member, and human being. SO enthusiastic and BEYOND kind, Mia answered endless questions, showed dozens of products, demonstrated techniques, and taught my friend how to do her makeup. She spent a lot of time with us, and was helpful, generous, delightful, welcoming, and in all ways far beyond expectations--without making a sale! My friend will purchase as her budget allows, and I will be a Mac fan for the rest of my life. This is a lovely store with good workers who have a passion for beautiful makeup and, more importantly, have the gift of human kindness. Bravo! read more

Love the artists here extremely helpful and talented. I came here and stayed while Irene worked here and was sad when she moved but I still live local and while there is a Mac extension over inside ulta a few hundred feet away - I still opt to come here to their actual store . Much better selection and there is no comparison when it comes to the artists and their talent and sheer knowledge of product etc. read more

I called ahead of time to see if they did event makeup. I made it clear it was for today the Person I spoke to said to walk in and they could help me but would need to step away to help other guests. I was fine with that and showed up within 30 minutes of calling, I was then told by this same individual that I could not be helped as they were the only person there. As I was walking out the door she was making fun of me to the customer in the store. Poor service and communication! read more

Mac has the best make up it's been around for a long long time I'm 59 years old and it has always been been one of the best make ups for ALL skin colors. when Mac started it had make up for all skin types and color black, brown, yellow, purple, blue and pink. Thant stinks for a lot when you can say that about a brand of make up. Love love love it. The lip stick and lip pencils have always been the best lasting forever always. Just wonderful make up ( the best)..... read more

I brought my girls in today to have some eye make up done for a dance recital they have tonight and the 3 women that helped me were great. They were very nice, and were so good with my girls. They did a great job, and we were in and out in 5 minutes with no charge! I'd def go there again. read more

Just got my makeup done here today. This is actually my second time. I really liked the girl that did my makeup today, unfortunately didn't catch her name, but her customer service was on point.. I mean it's not that hard, just be pleasant, follow directions, and make the customer feel comfortable.. this is really hard for some people, but this girl did a good job. She did exactly what I asked.. I feel extra cute because of her... thanks giiiiirrrrlll!! read more

Learned so many new tips at their makeup class that was taught by Leah. Kim assisted us with pulling the products that we wanted once the class was finished. I am from Modesto and have been traveling to this store instead of shopping at my local MAC because these girl's are always so nice and welcoming. I started going to this location over 5 years ago and in all the times I've visited them they have always been sweet! It's refreshing to meet and interact with employees who love their jobs and are nice. Nowadays a friendly staff is hard to find when visiting a business. I will continue to shop here and will definitely be attending another makeup class. Leah did a great job explaining each step and demonstration the best techniques to accomplish the look. I feel more confident in my make-up application and can't wait to show off my new look for NYE. read more

I will be honest I'm a Sephora girl, always have. However pretty recently I was highly interested in the studio fix fluid which I have heard high reviews about. I can't remember who the associate was that color matched me but it was spot on! Since I received such amazing customer service I have returned to this store plenty of times. The girls there recognize me now and are always showing me new stuff & have spot on recommendations for my complexion. I've been helped countless times by Marissa, Lea, & Dawnyae. I always walk out of there happy & accomplished I got makeup that will work well for me! Thank you ladies for making me feel welcomed every time! read more

So even though I'm 51 I have absolutely no clue what to do with makeup. I've always just worn mascara and lipgloss & been ok. Till last week when it was pointed out I wasn't hot anymore. Crushed my soul. I went in here looking for something I'd heard about. A new lip stain. These girls were so kind, helpful and non judge mental of my ignorance of makeup, nervousness and small purchase. They let me browse without hounding me & that makes me feel more comfortable to come back and trust them. One even actually complemented me on my style & that made me feel so good I got in the car and cried. They nailed it in the customer service department! read more

Friendly staff. The ladies are very informative with the make up products. I came in to grab two retro matte liquid lipsticks to try since there was a 25% off discount for members. The store was clean, neat and fully stocked. Wouldn't mind coming back if I ever needed to cash out on make up. read more

Hello? Hellllooooo? Is anybody in here? Wait? What was that scurrying noise in the back? Wait? I hear chicken clucking noises coming from behind that silver curtain. No, that's a bunch of house fraus clucking over what ever the employee is showing them and having nothing better to do than spend their husbands money. I'm standing at the check out counter for 5 minutes and still have not seen anyone or have been acknowledged. All I needed was a set of fake eyelashes because I ripped my last ones in half. MAC eyelashes last roughly a year just to let you know. Still standing and waiting. Oh wait, the clucking chickens are leaving. Oh wait, sorry to disturb you for wanting to buy something. Oh wait, here comes someone else from the back room. "I'm on the phone with HR back here so just to let you know", she says to the other girl. Hi, I just want to buy these!!!!! If chickens are not planning on buying anything and someone else is standing at the register waiting, please just acknowledge them. Not coming back again. Only going to Concord MAC or Walnut Creek MAC. read more

I'm usually intimidated by makeup stores/counters and will avoid them until I nearly run out of my few essentials. My intimidation was slightly appeased a few years back after receiving the most amazing makeup application and service at a M·A·C store, but after my last visit to this particular location, I will continue to keep my distance. The young lady who helped me was aloof and quite unenthusiastic -- at least around me. She was a bit more cordial to another customer. I walked in prepared to go on a shopping spree since I'm in desperate need of a makeover, but after receiving such a lackluster reception, I walked out with only a powder compact. If I hadn't misplaced my old one, I would've easily walked out without making a purchase. read more

MAC Cosmetics - Mineralized Skinfinish Natural powder in Medium Golden. Shade recommended by MUA is about 4 shades too dark for my complexion. - Cosmetics & Beauty Supply Near Me - Brentwood, California

I love Mac products! Although costly I like most items I purchase! I do purchase online more than in store but there are times I have went to store to get something when I don't want to wait for shipping. I have also taken my daughter here several times to get her makeup done for school dances and it always comes out great! The only thing is you have to pay a set rate here where as at the Macy's location you can buy product to get your makeup done. I highly recommend setting an appointment especially during prom season as they get booked up!! The only thing I don't like is they always talk my daughter into buying products when she is getting her makeup done and guess who gets to pay for them! Lol read more

I entered this MAC store and was greeted by a friendly gentleman who was with his client applying her makeup. He told me that the girl at the register was just finishing up and she would be right with me. About 10 minutes later, I still had not been helped. I waited and listened to the girl (do not know her name but thin blonde lady) at the register chit chat and re-ring a customer three times. They chatted about everything under the sun. She had to keep doing the re-ring cause the machine kept timing out. She never acknowledged me. The gentleman who greeted me, asked his client if it would be ok to help me and he started to help, as I was only there to pick up one lip glass. Soon after, one of the other makeup artist returned from lunch and she took over and finished my transaction. BTW- the other woman was still chatting it up with her customer. After my transaction was completed, the other cashier then finished up with her customer at the register and then she left for lunch. Horrible customer service. I just feel like she should have acknowledged me and told me someone would be with me soon. But she instead, continued a senseless conversation, while ignoring me all at the same time. Never once did she make any contact with me. I feel like she was either lazy or racist. Whatever the case may be, it was totally unprofessional of her to ignore a customer and chitchat for 10-15 minutes, instead of doing her job. read more

Visited this MAC today with my hubs and at first was a little hesitant because I have only had bad experiences.. Always just a bunch of rude girls who stare at you and don't want to help. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by Saia (I apologize if I spelled that wrong) and he was amazing he made me feel so welcome took the time to look at all the shadow colors with me I have never been a Mac type of person but Saia has made me one I will def be buying more. I live in Manteca and for sure if I need anything I will be coming to this location! Everyone was so friendly. Thank you all for changing my views of Mac employees read more

I always heard MAC employees can be slight racist. Not saying that all are, but my walk in was like that. I knew what I was coming in for, and I had my bf's younger sister with me, who's in her teens and has purchased MAC products before. So of course we can afford high end products. Once we've walked in, there was only one girl who was re organizing in the store and we were the only customer at that moment. But she didn't bother to give any type of customer service AT ALL. But when another family who was Caucasian she immediately greeted them and helped them the whole time. Then came in three older African American ladies and they never got greeted whatsoever and they were trying to get help but all the employee did was pay attention to the Caucasian family. When I was ready to make my purchase she was so quick to be all nice while ringing up my items. In order for me to get help I had to personally go up to her and ask when she could've just easily greeted us and ask if we needed any assistance I would've been in and out of there in less than a minute. It was difficult to get her damn attention because she was so into helping that other family. She could've got back to her organizing real quick. read more

This place is like my second home and I'll tell you why... 1. Makeup is my latest addiction. 2. Ummmm hello it's MAC! 3. Service here is outstanding! 4. Right around the corner. 5. Did I mention how fantastic the artists are here?!?! So you know you have a problem when all the artists recognize you or know you by name. What can I say, I'm doing my part to help save this economy. With that being said, I could write and epic novel detailing all my wonderful experiences here. Instead I would just like to thank Geraldine (best MA ever) and the rest of my MAC lovelies for always giving me top notch service. I honestly can not recall a time I wasn't approached or acknowledged immediately even when extremely busy. The artists here are by far the friendliest I've ever encountered. I can't stress enough how helpful and knowledgeable the entire staff is. Can you tell how much I love coming to this MAC??!! So be sure to hit this location up and holla at my girl Geraldine when you do . Girl got some crazy mad color combination skills. Thanks for all the wonderful recs girlie. I adore you even though my pocket book loathes you! read more

This place was a blessing this weekend! I was in town for a wedding and the salon where I got my hair done couldn't fit me in for make up. I called about three days before the wedding and they told me to walk in and it was a good chance they were going to be able to fit me in. I came right when they opened and they were able to take me on the spot. Soooooo relieved. My artist was Ashley I believe and she was a sweetheart with so much talent. She is awesome in creating dramatic eyes. Another bridesmaid came in our wedding party came in after me as a walk in and they were able to fit her in as well. She was also very pleased with the service and outcome. Awesome experiece. read more

So this is what I do when customer service is lacking at MAC stores: 1- I oggle at the associates sometimes giving them the stink eye 2- I'm that annoying person who stands by the eyeshadows picking up each one and not moving noticing theres a line building up behind me or 3- I pick my nose haha no i don't do number 3 in public. Seriously this place has bad customer service. I stood waiting for like 10 minutes staring at the same eyeshadow until someone noticed. I got a "hi" but before I could return the greeting I was met by a backside of some freakishly tall lady. Go to the PRO store you get FANTASTIC service! read more

I am a MAC gal. Everything I own for my face is MAC. I use to love coming to the brentwood MAC because of the friendliness and it's very close to home. Lately there service sucks.. Tonight I went in to look for an eyeshadow and the person working showed me one and just handed it to me.. He didn't even bother getting a brush out and apply it on me... UM... this is very unlike MAC just to hand you something.. So I had to swatch the shadow with my fingers.. EW.. yeah infection control ! so as I was digging my finger into the eyeshadow the pigmentation wasn't that good. I told the man that the pigment isn't strong enough.. and I asked him what he thought and just told me... HELLO ITS MAC.. I love MAC but i have bought items that SUCKED from MAC. He didn't even bother showing me another color... I really hate it when I get poor service at places where Ive had the best experience before. Now I rather go another MAC that knows how to treat their customers. MAC in Brentwood you need to hire people who really care about helping customers ! read more

I'd give this place ZERO STARS if I could. This store, on my two occasions of popping in, was not busy. The last time, last month, there were three employees, two customers, and I walked in. I was not greeted, and an employee actually bent down in front of me to get something out of a cabinet and never acknowledged me! I could have gone from zero to 100, told those bytches I make more money than they do, acted a complete fool, etc. Instead, I walked out and spent my $$$ elsewhere and complained. I'll never go back here. Mac in SF knows how to greet you. These birds here forget how insignificant they are in the equation. You work at Mac in brentwood. this isn't NYC. Calm down. read more

I am so very disappointed in this particular Mac store. It is awful every single time I go in. The people that work there are not friendly and do not acknowledge when a customer walks in. II have gone in 4 times now and every time is worse then the time before. I walked in today and not one employee acknowledge my existence or even looked my way. I've worked in customer service and you always say hello or someone will be right with you when a customer walks in. All three employees ignored me and I knew exactly what I wanted to buy which let me tell you was a lot. So they completely lost my business. I will never ever again shop at this Mac store again. I've never been so mad or disappointed before in a store in my life. I don't even want to give them one star. Awful. read more
